The Beatles Inducted into the Ultimate Classic Rock Hall of Fame

Thursday, May 02, 2013

By an overwhelming margin of nearly three to one, the Beatles have beaten the Doors to become the second inductees into the 100% fan-voted Ultimate Classic Rock Hall of Fame.

In their brief history together, no group single-handedly changed music — and the culture around them — as frequently or as much as the Beatles. To this day, they remain the most talked-about, written-about and influential rock band the world has ever seen.

The group’s recorded output is incredible in terms of sheer numbers (more than 200 recorded songs in eight years, plus four films and hundreds of concerts), diversity (everything from ballads to avant-garde) and — most importantly — quality. Even most of their very few detractors will grudgingly rattle off a handful of their favorite Beatles songs.
